It can be done using LHA for DOS running under a DOS box in Windows 95/98. 
Don't use Winzip or anything else.  Hopefully I've remembered the syntax
correctly - I haven't an Amiga LHA archive to hand to try it out
unfortunately.

Anyway, you need to type the following:

lha x /x /p /a [name of lha file].lha

I do remember that it might not get the filenames correct, but you can
rename them once they're out of the archive.  You need a DOS box under
Windows to get the long filename support.

LHA for MS-DOS should be available from any decent large ftp archive
(ftp.demon.co.uk perhaps?).  Version 2.13 or 2.55 are two I have.
